I probably could write you a video mode that runs at low refresh rates with
320x200 and no double scan. You could even make me to do it ;)
But serious: You don't want to run X Window with 320x200: The most programs
will have a window much bigger than your screen. It would be possible using
the virtual desktop (as you are doing it now (4 times bigger). But then you
would have to scroll around to find the buttons of the program.
No, I don't think you want this. I really urge you to buy a better graphic
card. A trio64v2 is pretty cheap, and will give you all modes you need on a
15 inch monitor. For a 17 inch monitor, a card with 4 MB is desirable.
